-ON INDEFINITE HIATUS-Two years after he left her in Hawkins for New York, Mike and El are called to California for a celebration. For the first time they're forced to confront their broken pieces and rediscover who they were. After a week together in the Cali sunshine they have to fly back home, but will home be the same, or will home have become something more than a place?

It's been a while since they've had time alone. School, work, and life have been keeping them busy. Mike makes it clear he's been missing her, and El decides she doesn't really mind as long as she gets a shower. (Shameless smut, a little fluff, desperate Mike, semi-clueless El, senior year blues, obviously shower sex)

Mike thinks he's doing the right thing, as usual, but both he and El soon discover it's not that easy to break up with your soulmate. (Shameless smut, hate sex, makeup sex, multi-chapter, happy ending)
